Older adults overwhelmingly prefer to stay in their homes and communities as they age, but millions live in homes that lack accessibility features that support doing so safely and independently. Home modifications and repairs can help older adults age in place and maintain their independence. In many cases, home modifications can also help to prevent falls and other accidents. ACL intends to award one cooperative agreement designed to address barriers to optimal access to and use of home modifications that support aging in place. The project will be expected to provide technical assistance and serve as a repository for home modification best practices and innovations that can be replicated at the local level.
